Or vote for Layla, though it would mean more to Sunshine.

Dear Layla,

I have opened a new English blog and with the first post (a brief one) about you.

Would appreciate if you could find some spare time to read and comment on that.

So far, I havent translated any of your blogs, fearing that I may not be able to do justice to the style, ferocity and point blank'ness' of your committed way of writing.

please look here

You have an excellent blog. Some people say that your blog and As'ad Abu Khalil's The Angry Arab News Service are like twins. I even read people calling your blog The Angry Arab Woman News Service :-). Good work. Keep it up.

Hi Layla Anwar.

Have you ever heard of/read the Iraqi female writer of short stories and political analyst Buthaina Al-Nasiri ?

Your writing styles are AMAZINGLY similar.

Brilliance, sheer brilliance.

You're on there too, Layla. You can vote for yourself, and nobody'd even know ;)

Sumac,

Since you seem so obsessed with me and my blog, why don't you vote for me yourself.

Hi Al, and thanks for visiting.
Any similiarities with Angry Arab are purely coincidental and do not stem from a mutual entente on politics.:-)

Hi Virginia,

Thank you for visiting and your kind comment.
I have heard of Buthaina Nasiri but have not read any of her works -yet. Anything you recommend since you seem to be well acquainted with her writings.

Rajeeve,

Hi again, I am unable to access your blog for some reason. If I click on your link, I am directed to a blog but it does not completely download.
Any clues ?

Dear Layla,

I opened the link right now. Maybe some problem from your side. Can be that my blog space fears a person like you.

meanwhile, please try this one.

Layla: "Since you seem so obsessed with me and my blog, why don't you vote for me yourself."

Well I did, of course! (you can vote once per day, so you have not been my only choice). The reasons approximate why CMAR II voted for Raed Jarrar:

"Based on the criteria that the US is abandoning the Iraqis, as Pres. Barack and Hillary promise to do, I nominated Raed Jarrar. If there is going to be a genocide, we'll need the craziest, most cold-blood a**-hole to orchestrate it.

Also, I figure the first few PMs are going to end up with their heads decorating a pike, so I'm nominating Raed for that."
- CMAR II

Now, I don't really wish any harm to you, but you must admire his thinking there!

Hi Layla.

Buthaina Al-Nasiri has an Arabic blog on maktoob (her name and photo are there under "profile" for all to see...)

buthainaalnasiri.maktoobblog.com

She is murmured to run and have run other websites, but since I am a serious person who does not give credit to backstairs gossip, I shall not contribute here to spreading it further.

As for the short stories, one I particularly liked was: "A snake in the bosom", which talks about the mellow-hearted widow of a rich landowner who gives hospitality to a shady adventurer, falls in love with him, entrusts him with his life and possessions and eventually ends up in ruin...

Please take care and keep blogging.

Best regards.

Barabie,

Alison, instead of just attacking scribe, why don't you try to refute the key points in the comment made by scribe????

There is NOTHING to refute here.
It's obvious that scribes and you, Barabie are just happy slandering a TRUE PATRIOTIC Iraqi.

That speaks tons.

little,

You keep sinking in deeper, by your own accord and by your own doing. Yes you are a giveaway...

The fact that you chose to post your comments on that thread that mentions my articles being translated into Spanish, is enough to denote that you are being really eaten up from the inside. hahahahahahaha.

Poor uptight frustrated saving herself aging girl...

Am glad you found a good companion and mate in Barabie, the despicable internet character.

You do make a beautiful pair of...losers.

Good luck with your heroic resisting spirit ;-)

little, one more thing...

Seems that abduction and rape are a real turn on for you.

Thought so, still a virgin after all those years makes fertile ground for the most perverted of fantasies...

Do seek help ,for with a mental predisposition like yours, I doubt very much your "romantic dreamer" side is of any use or attraction to your long awaited knight...

Do consider it will you? ;-)

I believe you are just another jealous, frustrated troll, a repugnant little character that uses the Resistance as a slogan to cover up for her insecurities, feelings of inferiority and the rest...an immature, puerile, acne ridden pimpled thing that gets high behind her/his computer through slandering, gossiping and back biting...an idiotic, ignorant, childish, emotionally and mentally stunted thing that tries to impress and miserably fails to do so...an unconscious, unaware, undignified, lowly, debased character that parades itself as some big shit...

Now you go and fuck that little self of yours into your phantasmagoric oblivion...and keep wishing for the knight to "deflower" you...

I've graced you with more than enough and now I am done with little you - another used tissue...

Regards to you little.

Don't waste your time on these idiots. I think they're just mad that your blog is well known and visited by many.

scribes,
What do you know about the martyred president saddam hussein? This blog was one of the few blogs that actually is loyal to the legacy of this great man. If you were a real supporter of Saddam Hussein and his vision for Iraq you would not attack someone who is clearly beyond your grasp.

barabie, again,
bow wow bow wow. Just one thing, if you happen to think someone said somthing "derogatory" about "females, why would it upset you? That has nothing to do with you. bow wow. bow wow.

Why would someone who SCRIBBLES refer to himself as a scribe. A scribe is defined in Merriam-Webster as "one of a learned class in ancient Palestine who's business is the copying of writings". This guy is scribbling gibberish.

All the comments by the one and same thing called -- sad, little, myopic, scribe-- have been removed.

A blog on Iraq and the Iraqi people is NOT your masturbatory bowl - you lowly depraved thing.

"Resisting" rapists, "intellectual" ejaculators, and sexually pent-up, frustrated neurotics have no place on this blog !

Endless Beginnings...

Image
For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten

Why ?

Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u

Not so Kind...

Image
I am very pissed. I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions. I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy. I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about "lack of the promised democracy"..."but we voted" broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays "Saddam is gone" and now cry over poor Iraq...and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier. It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting be
